Biography: Callum was a late developer in footballing terms, joining Hearts U17 side from boys club Tynecastle FC in 2010. Tall, athletic and versatile, he quickly established himself with the U19 and U20 sides, playing in various roles in defence, midfield and as a striker. It was no surprise when he made his competitive first team debut in the opening game of the 2012/13 season against St Johnstone. Now an established first team player, he is unlikely to feature with the youth side although still eligible for the U20s. Callum has been capped by Scotland at U19 and U21 levels.
